Thank you for letting us know. 

 

So that we can investigate this further, could you please provide the last 4-digits of your serial numbers + Company File ID this issue relates to? (Help>About MYOB AccountRight>Company File ID:__?)

      This worked, thank you.

       

      Can you pin these instructions to the top of the forum so other people don't have to continually go through the same issue? Not that it should have occurred in the first place but i've come to expect nothing less from MYOB.
